I am impressed.
When ever before did the Haredi community, via its public, its representatives, or its media, ever care so much about the Chief Rabbinate of Israel that it went out of its way to fight on behalf of it, or to speak out to defend its honor? When before did the Haredi community, via its public, its representatives, or its media, ever care so much about Sephardim that it went out of its way to fight on behalf of a maligned Sephardi Jew, or to speak out to defend his honor?
Much of the Haredi press, especially the Hassidic-affiliated newspapers, all went out of their way to defend the honor of Chief Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef from the disparaging attacks by MK Elazar Stern.
This must surely be an historic moment. This must surely be a significant moment.
